Installing the Power Supply
The DC power supply provides option to connect with two different sources (dual feed); positive (+) and
negative (-) are marked on the PSU terminals.
The power on voltage is -42 VDC.
Note
The power supply must be wired before plugging the power supply in the chassis. Ensure the branch circuit
breaker is turned off. Only after installing the power supply in the chassis, should the branch circuit breaker
be turned on. The branch circuit breaker must be turned off before unplugging the power supply.
Caution
Each power supply provides a dual primary input power connection.
Read the installation instructions before connecting the system to the power source. Statement 10
Warning
Preventing Power Loss
Use the following guidelines to prevent power loss to the router.
• To prevent loss of input power, ensure that the total maximum load on each circuit supplying the power
supplies is within the current ratings of the wiring and breakers.
• In some systems, you can use an UPS to protect against power failures at your site. Avoid UPS types
that use ferroresonant technology. These UPS types can become unstable with systems like the Cisco
ASR 914 Router, which can have substantial current draw fluctuations due to bursty data traffic patterns.
